Factory tinted rear windows would be nice.

dreamst8 · 02-22-2012, 08:49 PM

Great suggestions so far! As I get ready to make my 3rd Camaro purchase in about 1 year, I would like to see several ideas added! Here is my .02 cents!

- I agree with Jetstream Blue or something like the Viper/Electric Blue lines..with White stripes! (I believe blue is my next color if its done right)
- Visors..check..
- Clear Bra STANDARD on all Camaros.
- Rear diffuser re-do, OR...make it color matched...
- That rally type steering wheel.. way better than the current design. I switched to an ACE and would rather take this one with me I love it so much.. way more comfortable holding the wheel!..Ohh... & get the CAMARO name or the emblem back into it..
- Adjustable seats with more lower back flexibility and heat & cool flow thru
- Color matched piping or stitching
- Armrest stitching redesigned, its right on the elbow..or raise the armrest up about 2 inches along with modifying those cupholders
- Get the stereo to interact better with Android phones, similiar to iPhones..
- Onstar "delete"

Just the short list today...

Thank you for "hearing us" Janet!

Agreed 100%, the CTS-V has the Recaro's available so why can't we manage to get them?

You can't blame GM here. They've gone to water based due to federal EPA regulations. You can still get urethane, but that's being phased out and will only get more expensive as time goes on. Forget about the old laquer. That stuff went out with the 1960s.

Even your premium and ultra high end car companies like Rolls and Ferrari have moved to water based, they just use an insane amount of coats of it.

The clear on our cars is not water based, only the color coat.

Better quality leather seats...

Heated steering wheel would be the bomb for us folks up north.

I vote for a thicker clear-coat!

Blackhawk6 · 02-23-2012, 05:46 PM

Janet, This is an awesome product but if I had to pick one change I would agree it would be a better brake package for the ones that love to drive these cars on road courses this would include the six piston brakes, braided brake lines and duct coolant lines for forced air to the front brakes.

Sidevent over the back wheel that would also supply cool air to the back brakes

GroundhogSS · 02-23-2012, 06:19 PM

I remember Nissan advertising some kind of self-healing paint (clear coat?). Maybe something like that would prevent or conceal lots of the little chips.

tstanfa · 02-23-2012, 06:19 PM

I didn't read all of the comments, so this may have been stated. I'd like to see a suspension package similar to the ZL1 offered on a naturally aspirated SS. Also, I'd love to see real afterburner tail lights like on the 2006 Concept Camaro, all the aftermarket solutions leave me wanting.

Loved reading all of the comments, got them recorded. Keep 'em coming.

Okay a little input:
Fix the squeaky brakes on the v6, they are horrible! Relocate the PDIM and auxiliary location. Give the v6 the performance package like a lot of others have mentioned the v6 market is probably larger then the SS market, I would say add another option for stereo equipment and include an Amplifier in the non BA equipped cars (the distortion can be horrible at times). And finally, I know that the Tachs on the 2012s are narrower! Keep them like that, if I ever switch from the digital speedometer I can only see around how fast I am going, Other then that perfect car! Thank you!

Ok I would like to see a removeable T-Top or maybe a glass Targa top option. Better yet how about a real retractable roof panel either see thru glass or solid. Another option I would like to see is ventilated seats and mounting points to add a better multi-point restraint system.
